Husband's Regrets: Revenge Marriage
(MM&GL) CHAPTER 9. How Much Do You Love Me?

Again Joana woke up with pain all over her body. He tried to open his eyes and hold his aching head, but he was shocked when he could not raise his hand.

Joana opened her eyes wider, she saw an infusion hose stuck in her hand. In addition he felt his hands so sore, and as he looked at what was happening, he was even more surprised that his hands were handcuffed to the bed.

"Mega, you finally came to your senses too. I'm so worried about you."

Joana's hair immediately goosebumps when she heard the heavy voice, she glanced towards the entrance, where Devan walked casually towards her. The man appeared to be wearing a white t-shirt with disheveled hair, looking handsome but creepy at the same time.

Devan approached Joana, his face looking completely innocent. Though the man had just made Joana faint from being too rude when he touched Joana. Plus his injured head, making Joana unaware of what Devan is doing. The woman only felt a sting in the core area and her body was like being severely beaten.

"So I called the doctor, he said your head should be sewn. I'm sorry, yeah. I must have hurt you a lot" said Devan, kissing Joana on the forehead.

Joana closes her eyes, not meaning to be arrogant, but she is disgusted by Devan who is a stranger to her.

"Oh, you must be surprised by this, right? I'll answer, I just want you not to run away from me. It's okay, isn't it?" devan said commenting on a cheerful smile, as if handcuffing Joana like that doesn't matter anything.

"German ...." Joana tugged at his hand, but the more it was pulled the more pain there was.

"Why do you like to hurt yourself? You're quiet enough, then you won't get hurt" Devan said.

Joana was crying softly, she looked at Devan with sadness, hoping that the man would understand what he wanted.

"I'm not going anywhere, please let me go" Joana said.

"What's the guarantee if you won't go?" Devan raised his eyebrows.

Joana gulps her saliva rough, she is afraid of mispronunciation and will later ignite Devan's emotions again.

"I'm just a paralyzed woman, where am I going?" joana answered, using her feet as an excuse.

"You're not leaving, but I know what you're planning. You better get that out of your head before I know it for myself." The man lowered his head to get closer to Joana. "I don't care, even if I love you, I'll make you regret living in this world" Devan said, putting on a very serious face.

Joana closed her eyes, now the road was getting harder. With a loved one like this, what if Joana would really make a mistake?

"Will you promise not to go again, my wife?" The man touched Joana's cheek, his movements were very smooth cradling, but to Joana it was like an alarm of danger sign.

"I promise," Joana answered with great force. For now, that was the best path he could choose.

"Good, then you're getting sweeter" said Devan, still stroking Joana's cheek.

Joana opened her eyes, for the first time seeing the face of Devan who was very close to her. Perhaps if not given his cruelty, all the women would have instantly fallen in love with Devan. But for Joana, it won't be that easy. Devan was the one who came and ruined the dream he had built so beautifully.

The man had destroyed everything and had the heart to rape himself for considering himself Mega. But what Joana will remember, Devan has the heart to take the life of his mother cruelly.

"The doctor said your condition has improved, then we can go home immediately. I'll help you clean up" Devan said.

Joana immediately slammed into the world again hearing Devan's voice, she saw the man open the handcuffs in his hand so that he could freely move.

"Dev," called Joana, and she dared to gently touch Devan's hand.

Devan seemed surprised, but he immediately changed his facial expression. He looked at Joana sharply.

"Just accompany me, I'll take a shower myself" said Joana in a soft voice, trying to resist but not to offend Devan.

"Hm, then what's the point of me just accompanying you? I'll just help you."

As usual, Devan ignored anyone's words. The man grabbed Joana's small body into a sling and took her to the bathroom.

Devan puts Joana on a closed toilet. Then deftly he undressed Joana without any awkwardness at all.

"Devs." Joana again held Devan's hand, really Joana was afraid that Devan would be rude again.

"What are you"

"I know, I just want to clean myself up. You said I can't be a spoiled woman, I can be alone if it's just a shower. You can wait outside" said Joana stringing the right words so Devan does not take offense.

"You're sick, it doesn't matter if you're spoiled for me. Take it easy, I won't do anything to you, if that's what you're afraid of" Devan said.

The man keeps all of Joana's clothes open and turns on the shower to flutter Joana's body.

Joana closed both of her assets, she was surprised to see some of her body look bruised. All of that must be because Devan was too excited.

"Why did you cover it?" Devan raised his eyebrows, he had already seen everything, for what to cover?

"I'm ashamed" Joana answered honestly.

Devan chuckles amusedly, he ducked and held Joana's chin. "When did you become like this? There are no secrets between us, Mega" Devan said with a sweet smile.

Joana almost fell asleep when she saw the sweet smile, but when she heard the name of someone mentioned at the end of the sentence made her feel like she was slapped by reality. Why does it hurt so much when our presence is not considered this way?

Devan continues his duties, soaping Joana painstakingly. Even the man gently rubbed every inch of Joana's body as if it was precious. If it's like this, Devan seems to love Mega a lot.

"How much do you love Mega?" For some reason Joana suddenly asked, a second later she regretted the question.

Devan who had soaked Joana's feet looked up to see her female face. "There's no way you don't know, Mega. You know how my struggle got you" Devan said.

"If it's that big, would you if I asked you to drink poison for me?" joana asked reflex just like that, in her heart already holds a grudge against the man in front of her.

Devan pulled the corner of his lips, that cynical smile was very noticeable.

"Why don't we drink it together?"
